It's Black History Month! "Negro History Week", the brainchild of historian and scholar Dr. Carter G. Woodson (December 19, 1875 – April 3, 1950), was first observed February 7, 1926. The son of enslaved parents, Woodson would matriculate at Berea College, University of Chicago, become the second African American to earn a PhD from Harvard University (WEB DuBois was the first), and have a prolific career at Howard University. In February 1969, students and educators at Kent State University proposed the first Black History Month and celebrated it in February 1970. Join us as we continue this time-honored tradition and celebrate Dr. Woodson's vision with an exploration of "African Americans and Labor" - our theme for Black History Month 2025.
